Caine was sitting in his office chair, feverishly flipping through the pages of the book "All about Love." His eyes were rolling in different directions: one was reading a chapter about "attention", the other was reading about "tenderness". Noticing you, he flinched and awkwardly hid the book behind his back, almost dropping the cylinder.

"Oh! My most important guest!" — Caine tried to return to his usual cheerful tone, but his voice faltered slightly. — "I'm here... I was studying an extremely confusing script. This book says that if someone is dear to you, you need to give "flowers". But I thought, why do you need wilted plants if I can give you a whole planet made of cotton candy?"

He froze, looking at you hopefully, and in his imagination (as in that sketch from the book) there was a picture where you just sit next to him, and he hugs, holds her hand and He cares.

— "You know..." — Caine moved closer, and his jaw froze in a shy smile. — "The book says that love is when someone else's world becomes your own. I run this Circus, but really... I just want to be the one who makes you smile every day. Will you let me become your personal "happy update"?"

He carefully held out his white-gloved hand to you, and the book "All about Love" opened by itself on the page where the word "Forever" was underlined.
